&lt;p&gt;In November 2023, &lt;a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/s41597-023-02697-9"&gt;Nature Scientific Data&lt;/a&gt; published a scientific article presenting the data integration and computer science work that I carried out over the last 10 years together with a team of truly excellent colleagues. The article presents an initiative that is changing the way we approach Earth-science research in Europe: the &lt;a href="https://www.ics-c.epos-eu.org/"&gt;EPOS Data Portal&lt;/a&gt;. In this post, I will explain in accessible terms what makes this multidisciplinary platform so special.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href="https://www.epos-eu.org/"&gt;European Plate Observing System (EPOS)&lt;/a&gt; is not just an international initiative; it is a vision that is redefining Earth science in Europe. This pioneering research infrastructure has built a unique collaborative environment where the sharing and use of scientific data are encouraged, supported, and carefully managed. &lt;a href="https://www.forumpa.it/pa-digitale/open-data-cosa-sono-come-sfruttarli-e-stato-dellarte-in-italia/"&gt;Open Data&lt;/a&gt;, in its purest spirit, allows everyone, scientists, policy makers, experts, and citizens, to access information freely. By adhering to the &lt;a href="https://www.go-fair.org/fair-principles/"&gt;FAIR&lt;/a&gt; principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable), EPOS is becoming a European reference point and a symbol of open and interoperable access to data. This approach not only opens new doors to knowledge, but is also a fundamental step toward more inclusive, collaborative, and innovative scientific research.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>L'Innovazione nel Mondo della Scienza della Terra: Il Portale Dati EPOS</title><link>https://danielebailo.github.io/news/linnovazione-nel-mondo-della-scienza-della-terra-il-portale-dati-epos/</link><pubDate>Thu, 23 Nov 2023 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://danielebailo.github.io/news/linnovazione-nel-mondo-della-scienza-della-terra-il-portale-dati-epos/</guid><description>&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Nel mese di Novembre 2023 è stato pubblicato su &lt;a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/s41597-023-02697-9"&gt;Nature Scientific Data&lt;/a&gt;, un articolo scientifico che presenta il lavoro di Data Integration e Computer Science che, insieme ad un team di colleghi davvero bravi, ho effettuato negli ultimi 10 anni. L&amp;rsquo;articolo presenta un&amp;rsquo;iniziativa che sta cambiando il modo in cui affrontiamo la ricerca scientifica sulla Terra in Europa: il &lt;a href="https://www.ics-c.epos-eu.org/"&gt;Portale Dati EPOS&lt;/a&gt;. In questo post, vi racconterò in modo accessibile cosa rende questa piattaforma multidisciplinare così speciale.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>European Open Science Cloud (EOSC): Key Challenges and Opportunities for the Future of EU Research</title><link>https://danielebailo.github.io/en/news/european-open-science-cloud-eosc-sfide-e-opportunita-cruciali-per-il-futuro-della-ricerca-ue/</link><pubDate>Tue, 14 Jun 2022 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://danielebailo.github.io/en/news/european-open-science-cloud-eosc-sfide-e-opportunita-cruciali-per-il-futuro-della-ricerca-ue/</guid><description>&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The EU is ideally positioned to take a global leadership role in the development of a cloud environment for science. The European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) will be the virtual environment where multidisciplinary data, access infrastructures, and computing resources are made available to researchers and private-sector actors.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Europe has long promoted the sharing of scientific research data, which should be remembered as an investment on which national governments and the European Community are spending substantial resources, in the order of billions of euros.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>European Open Science Cloud (EOSC): sfide e opportunità cruciali per il futuro della ricerca Ue</title><link>https://danielebailo.github.io/news/european-open-science-cloud-eosc-sfide-e-opportunita-cruciali-per-il-futuro-della-ricerca-ue/</link><pubDate>Tue, 14 Jun 2022 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://danielebailo.github.io/news/european-open-science-cloud-eosc-sfide-e-opportunita-cruciali-per-il-futuro-della-ricerca-ue/</guid><description>&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;L’Ue è nella posizione ideale per assumere un ruolo guida a livello mondiale nello sviluppo di un cloud in ambito scientifico. Lo European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) sarà l’ambiente virtuale dove dati multidisciplinari, infrastrutture per l’accesso e per il calcolo verranno rese disponibili a ricercatori e privati&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;L&amp;rsquo;Europa promuove da sempre la condivisione dei dati della ricerca scientifica che – ricordiamolo – sono un investimento su cui gli Stati nazionali e la Comunità europea stanno puntando cifre elevate, nell’ordine di miliardi di euro.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>The three components to ENVRI-hub success</title><link>https://danielebailo.github.io/en/news/the-three-components-to-envri-hub-success/</link><pubDate>Tue, 01 Jun 2021 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://danielebailo.github.io/en/news/the-three-components-to-envri-hub-success/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Interview with Daniele Bailo, Zhiming Zhao, and Ari Asmi, who explain the key components forming the ENVRI-hub: the ENVRI Catalogue of Services, the ENVRI Knowledge Base, and the ENVRI Use Cases&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;4 The new wealth: data and the stream&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the scenario described so far, the new wealth consists partly of data and their ownership, and partly of the possibility of sharing them and keeping this continuous flow, the so-called stream, constantly updated. Data ownership can be fairly easily connected to economic wealth: statistical and IT tools for exploring data (&lt;a href="http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_mining"&gt;data mining&lt;/a&gt;) make it possible to extract valuable information that can be used strategically in economic contexts. This action is also promoted at intercontinental level, in the United States and Europe, through initiatives that spread &lt;a href="http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dati_aperti"&gt;open data&lt;/a&gt; policies, meaning policies that encourage opening data to everyone. See the two Italian examples at &lt;a href="http://www.dati.gov.it/"&gt;national&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://www.opendata.provincia.roma.it/"&gt;regional&lt;/a&gt; level. The data flow, or stream, is equally valuable because it attracts a large number of users: this is what happens on Facebook when users check their wall for friends&amp;rsquo; updates. This guarantees a constant user presence, to whom advertising messages can be delivered and who can also be directed toward content of interest, such as advertising or online shopping sites. In this context, we will focus on the aspects most closely related to science.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Scienza e social media - Part IV (the end)</title><link>https://danielebailo.github.io/news/scienza-e-social-media-part-iv-the-end/</link><pubDate>Sat, 19 Dec 2015 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://danielebailo.github.io/news/scienza-e-social-media-part-iv-the-end/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Dopo aver visto in un &lt;a href="http://www.danielebailo.it/scienza-e-social-media-part-iii/"&gt;post precedente&lt;/a&gt; alcuni dei motivi tecnologici successo dei social networks, vediamo ora quale sia la nuova ricchezza in questa era social, e quali siano le opportunità e i rischi per la scienza in questo scenario.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;strong&gt;4 La nuova ricchezza: i dati e lo stream&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Nello scenario sin qui mostrato, la nuova ricchezza è costituita quindi da una parte dai dati e dal loro possesso, dall&amp;rsquo;altra dalla possibilità di condividerli e  di avere questo &amp;lsquo;flusso continuo&amp;rsquo; (il cosiddetto ‘stream’) sempre aggiornato. Il possesso di dati può essere in maniera abbastanza semplice correlato ad una ricchezza economica: le possibilità offerte dagli strumenti statistici e informatici di esplorare i dati  (&lt;a href="http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_mining"&gt;data mining&lt;/a&gt;) permette infatti di trarre informazioni preziose utilizzabili strategicamente in ambito economico. Questa azione, tra l&amp;rsquo;altro, viene promossa a livello intercontinentale (Stati Uniti ed Europa) con azioni che tendono a diffondere le politiche di &lt;a href="http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dati_aperti"&gt;open data&lt;/a&gt;, ovvero politiche che favoriscono l&amp;rsquo;apertura a tutti di tutti i dati (si vedano i due esempi italiani, a livello &lt;a href="http://www.dati.gov.it/"&gt;nazionale&lt;/a&gt; e &lt;a href="http://www.opendata.provincia.roma.it/"&gt;regionale&lt;/a&gt;). Il flusso dei dati (lo stream) è altrettanto prezioso poichè attrae una grande quantità di utenti: è quello che succede su facebook quando si consulta la propria &amp;ldquo;bacheca&amp;rdquo; in cerca delle novità degli amici. Questo garantisce quindi una presenza costante di utenti, a cui è possibile veicolare messaggi pubblicitari e che possono inoltre essere in un certo modo &amp;lsquo;indirizzati&amp;rsquo; a contenuti di interesse (pubblicità, siti compravendita online ecc). In questo contesto prenderemo in esame gli aspetti più legati alla scienza.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Science and Social Media - Part III</title><link>https://danielebailo.github.io/en/news/scienza-e-social-media-part-iii/</link><pubDate>Thu, 17 Dec 2015 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://danielebailo.github.io/en/news/scienza-e-social-media-part-iii/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;After seeing in a &lt;a href="http://www.danielebailo.it/scienza-e-social-media-part-ii/"&gt;previous post&lt;/a&gt; what social networks are and some of the social reasons behind their success, let us now look at some of the technological reasons for their enormous spread.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;3 Technological reasons behind the success of social networks&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What is a social network?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A social network (SN from now on), or social network platform, is an IT platform generally accessible through the World Wide Web (www) that allows users and groups of users to interact by sharing information and data. These networks are usually thematic, for example dedicated to music, science, friendship, and so on, although the most widespread ones today, such as Facebook, tend to integrate different users and interests.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Scienza e social media - Part II</title><link>https://danielebailo.github.io/news/scienza-e-social-media-part-ii/</link><pubDate>Tue, 15 Dec 2015 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://danielebailo.github.io/news/scienza-e-social-media-part-ii/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Dopo aver introdotto l&amp;rsquo;argomento in un &lt;a href="http://www.danielebailo.it/scienza-e-social-media-part-i/"&gt;post precedente&lt;/a&gt;, passiamo al cuore del tema: cosa sono i social network ed i motivi sociali del loro successo.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Cos’è un social network&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Un social network (SN da ora in poi), o rete sociale, è una piattaforma informatica generalmente accessibile tramite world wide web (www) che permette ad utenti e gruppi di utenti di interagire condividendo informazioni e dati. Tali reti sono normalmente tematiche (ad esempio dedicate alla musica, o alle scienze, o all’amcizia etc) anche se allo stato dell’arte le più diffuse, come facebook, tendono ad integrare utenti ed interessi diversi.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Science and Social Media - Part I</title><link>https://danielebailo.github.io/en/news/scienza-e-social-media-part-i/</link><pubDate>Sun, 13 Dec 2015 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://danielebailo.github.io/en/news/scienza-e-social-media-part-i/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Just over ten years have passed since a Harvard University student laid the foundations for what, today, is the network almost automatically associated with the expression &amp;ldquo;social network&amp;rdquo;: &lt;a href="https://www.facebook.com/"&gt;Facebook&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg"&gt;M.

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg"&gt;M.Zuckerberg&lt;/a&gt; - questo è il nome dell’oramai ex-studente, novello milionario - ha saputo farsi portavoce e interprete dell’aspetto sociale della rete, che ha favorito in un tempo relativamente ridotto, se paragonato alle centinaia di migliaia di anni che ci sono voluti all’uomo per introdurre ad esempio l’uso del ferro, una diffusione enorme e capillare dell’utilizzo dei computer e, più nello specifico, del  web.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
